 Posted: Fri Apr 14, 2006 9:33 pm Post subject: Alsa on a Vaio |
 |
|
Hey all,
I just bought a Sony Vaio VGN-FE11S and after a marathon of questions to many people who helped me in the irc I got my X running, then I tried to get ALSA running....far harder. Seems like the opinion of most is that I should wait until alsa-driver catches up to the Intel High Definition Sound Card. If anyone has any ideas or has got alsa up and running on this model, please let me know how you did it. Any ideas or contribuitions will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance |

I'm using it with alsa-driver ~x86. Try them, will work.

That's great!
I hope it's not asking much, but if you could give me a step by step of exactly what you did I would really appreciate it, I had already tried the ~x86 driveres and the r5 didn't work at all. If you don't have time for the step by step I understand but if you could post your /etc/modules.s/alsa that would be really helpful because I always get a soundcard not found error when I try to start alsasound.
Thanks in advance |

Hi, I have a Vaio Vgn-S5HP and by performing a "lspci" I have this:
| Quote: |
Vaio macbouba # lspci | grep -i audio
00:1b.0 Class 0403: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 03)

I think you have the same on your laptop.
The sound works perfectly on mine
I have the kernel gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r1
The module for the card in the kernel is here:
| Quote: |
Device Drivers --->
Sound --->
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture --->
PCI devices --->
Intel HD Audio

I made that as a built-in in my kernel so after the compilation of the kernel I just emerge "alsa-utils" and perform a:
| Code: |
rc-update add alsasound boot
